Now that you all have (hopefully) been able to finish Kingdom Keepers V, I thought it would be fun for us to discuss the book. Here are some questions for us to consider. Please post your answers in the comments below!

Finn – In one part of the book, Finn saw that he was running around a factory with Willa. Soon after, Willa discovered they were behind a stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Later while on the Dream, Finn sees what he thought was a factory, and the thought struck him – did he dream the future? Is he a Fairlie?? What do you think.

Willa – Always looking into the face of danger. Does she have any fears? And if so, what are they? How will she avoid them? What will she do next!?!

Maybeck – While at Castaway Cay, Maybeck saw that the mosquito repellent tubes all around the island were going berserk. How did he figure out what the mosquito problem? What other talents does he have?

Charlene – Although she is athletic, does she have any weaknesses? And if so, what are they? How would she deal with them?

Philby – Philber, the PhilbMeister. Is there anything he can’t do? Yes, he is skilled at computers but what else is he good at? What are his weaknesses? Tell me, because I suspect there’s something he can’t do.

Jonah lives in Virginia, and considers himself the biggest Disney “maniac” in his family. He has been going to Walt Disney World since he was 8 months old, and he still loves it to this day. He is 11 years old and in 5th grade.

As the five Kingdom Keepers enter high school, everything is about to change. The Maintenance Base that controls all four parks in Disney World is under attack by the a group determined to change Disney forever. Relationships between the Keepers are no longer as simple as they once were. In fact, nothing is as simple as it once was. An after-hours visit to Typhoon Lagoon is a game changer. The Keepers lose one of their most valuable supporters. But there’s work to do.

The Disney Dream leaves Port Canaveral on an historic cruise to Los Angeles with a special treat in store for guests: the Disney Host Interactive teenage guides are on board. Finn, Maybeck, Charlene, Willa, and Philby join celebrity guests as the DHI experience moves to one of the most advanced cruise ships in the world.

But all is not right below decks. Strange things are happening. Unexplained phenomena. Only the Kingdom Keepers know the truth behind their invitation to be in attendance: nearly every Disney villain is aboard the ship, including Maleficent.

The Overtakers have infiltrated the cast and crew. And no one knows what they have planned.

The Dream sets sail filled with enthusiastic guests and crew. But not for long. Maleficent takes over a video screen and warns the guests of trouble to come. With the ship arriving to the beaches of Castaway Cay–its first of many exotic ports of call–the Kingdom Keepers are under attack; back home the Base is threatened and about to fall. The Overtakers have expanded in ways never foreseen, and it’s clear they intend to use this element of surprise to accomplish what has eluded them so far: victory.
